Chapter 30: Named Disciple

Su Muyu’s eyes widened; she truly couldn’t believe that Yi Qianmo would reject her. After all, given her status, how could he possibly say no?

But Yi Qianmo actually refused her, and so simply, which dealt a huge blow to Su Muyu’s self-esteem.

This was the first time in her life she had faced such a setback.

If this got out, no one would believe that the esteemed Su Muyu had been turned down when she made an approach!

Seeing Su Muyu in a daze, Yi Qianmo didn’t explain anything to her.

He didn’t refuse Su Muyu because she wasn’t attractive, but because of her aloof look, as if she thought of him as insignificant.

From the moment Su Muyu walked in, she never truly looked at him; she only wanted to get what she desired from him.

This was exactly what Yi Qianmo hated the most, because Yu Youwei had already hurt him once. Even though he knew Su Muyu could never hurt him, he still felt intense anger towards Su Muyu’s actions.

Moreover, what right does Su Muyu have to look down on him?

His ancestors were great emperors of the fairyland, and having inherited their legacy, how could he be limited to just a small kingdom like Yan?

"Why?"

Su Muyu asked instinctively.

In the past, she would never have done something so foolish; being rejected and then asking why was like pouring salt on her own wounds.

"I don’t like."

Yi Qianmo’s answer was very straightforward, "I don’t like you, so why would I marry you?"

"…"

Su Muyu couldn’t help but wonder if she had misheard.

But when she looked at Yi Qianmo, she found that he answered clearly and sincerely; the boy in front of her really did not like her.

For a brief moment, she even felt like a clown in front of the boy.

After a long silence, Su Muyu finally looked away, her body trembling slightly, and said, "But you must think about your family!"

"You don’t need to worry about that."

Yi Qianmo said, "But I will not accept your proposal."

The living room fell silent again. Su Muyu wanted to turn and leave, but as soon as she remembered Yi Qianmo’s powerful reversal technique with the potion, she quickly dismissed that thought.

"What would it take for you to join Tianyuan Academy?" Su Muyu asked.

"I never said I didn’t want to join Tianyuan Academy; I just don’t want to marry you," Yi Qianmo replied, "not even for show."

Su Muyu felt as if her heart was pierced by a needle. She clenched her fists and said, "How about this, I… I want to be your student?"

"Hmm?"

Yi Qianmo looked her over, deep in thought and silent.

"You don’t think I don’t even have the right to be your student, do you?"

Su Muyu’s face turned red; this felt too unfair.

But when she looked at Yi Qianmo, she saw that even though he didn’t say anything, he truly had an expression that said, "You are not qualified to be my student."

"What do you really want?"

Su Muyu’s face showed anger; her earlier dominant attitude was gone, and her eyes revealed some hurt.

Seeing this, Yi Qianmo sighed and said, "Alright, I will take you as a named disciple first. If you truly have a talent for alchemy, then I will formally accept you as my student. How does that sound?"

Hearing Yi Qianmo’s tone of "You can do it or not, I don’t care," Su Muyu became angry.

But when she thought of the reversal technique he had shown, she put away her resentment and immediately knelt on one knee, saying, "Disciple Su Muyu greets you, Master."

"Rise."

Yi Qianmo raised his hand slightly.

Su Muyu quickly walked to the side, poured a cup of tea for Yi Qianmo, and personally presented it to him. If Yu Changqing were here now, his eyes would probably pop out.

This noble from the Yan Kingdom is actually serving tea to the Yi Qianmo he looks down on?

However, Yi Qianmo felt no discomfort at all; instead, he looked as if it was completely natural. He accepted the teacup, took a sip, and set it on the table, saying, "You are close to reaching the Qi Refining Stage, aren’t you?"

"With you here, Master, I cannot hide anything. I will soon enter the Qi Refining Stage."

Su Muyu offered tea to Yi Qianmo as a test.

Seeing him so confident and composed, she was even more sure that she had chosen the right person.

"Can you sense the spirit within the herbs?"

Yi Qianmo asked.

"Yes, teacher."

Su Muyu nodded, "I naturally have a bond with spirit herbs, so I have been secretly practicing Pill Skill, wanting to become…"

"You want to become a Pill Master, being able to feel the spirit of the herbs is just the beginning…!" Yi Qianmo interrupted her.

Su Muyu bit her lip, feeling unable to argue back, because Yi Qianmo’s words had been told to him before by someone else, and that person was a true Pill Master.

"Teacher, can I really become a Pill Master?"

Su Muyu looked up, eagerly watching Yi Qianmo.

"No."

Yi Qianmo said directly.

Seeing the look of disappointment in Su Muyu’s eyes, Yi Qianmo quickly added, "But with my teaching, you will definitely become a Pill Master!"

"Really?" Su Muyu’s body trembled slightly with excitement. "Someone once told me that I could never become a Pill Master!"

"That was because he was not skilled enough."

As Yi Qianmo spoke, he took out a Qi Nourishing Pill and said, "This will be your gift for becoming my student. First, you need to break through to the Qi Refining Stage."

"Top-grade Qi Nourishing Pill!"

Su Muyu received the pill and nodded vigorously. "I will not let you down! By the way, teacher, should I move to the Yi family?"

"No need."

Yi Qianmo said, "You will stay at the Yu family. Keep an eye on that old man Yu Changqing. If there is any news from the Yu family, send someone to tell me right away."

"Teacher, there is something I must tell you in advance…"

Saying this, Su Muyu quickly told what had happened at the Yu family, including that Yu Changqing had sent someone to the Immortal Gate.

"Oh."

Yi Qianmo looked as if it was the most natural thing.

Hearing this response, Su Muyu was shocked, "Teacher, aren’t you worried at all? However, you really don’t need to worry, since you are my master, I will certainly keep you safe. Even if people from the Xuanyuan Sect come, they won’t be able to harm you at all!"

"Even without you, they may not be able to hurt me."

Yi Qianmo said with a smile.

If it were before, Su Muyu would definitely have thought Yi Qianmo was boastful, but now she did not think so because Yi Qianmo was very calm.

Since she arrived, the boy’s face has shown no sign of the danger he will soon face at the fairy gate; instead, he looks confident and assured.

It’s like he is waiting for someone to come from the fairy gate; no, he is waiting for Yu Youwei to arrive!

Seeing Yi Qianmo’s expression, Su Muyu feels certain in her heart.

Just as Yi Qianmo accepted Su Muyu as his apprentice, something else was happening far away in Green Dragon Mountain Roaring Bear Valley.

A man in black stepped into Roaring Bear Valley and activated the Maze Formation inside, then soon disappeared into the valley and entered that cave.
